Better See LATE J. EGIBSON, Agent, Dryden Leans Trim Fats THOSE who were so fortunate to be present at Reid's Bowling Alleys, on Thursday evening, the 28, witnessed the downfall and humiliation of the I'at bowiing element of Dryden, when their measure. was taken by the skinniest aggregation that could be dag up within the Town limits. Some of the leans were so tall and lanky that a medical" doctor, should they have a pain in their middle regions, would be unable to diagnose whether the pain was in their stomach or back. Never- theless, these same skinny bowlers-- some of them looking like the running gear of a "Katy-Did", demonstrated 'heir superiority over ther fatty, pon- derous opponents in no unmistakeable manner--much to the delight of the "anti-fat" element of Dryden." The gloom that covered BlIudtown when the mighty Casey "Struck-out" was a flash of lightning compared with the gloom and despair displayed by the fats and their fat supporters at the conclusion cf the games. Dickson, King Pin, of the fats, prov- ed such a "Blow-out" that the report is still reverberating throughout the District. Ernie got more "splits" than could be found in a well stocked bar, and it is reported that he is accusing the leans of bribing the pin-setters in order to mar his previous high stand- ing in the bowling fraternity. Hambly has a very taking way. He took a number of strikes, a lot more spares and all the count he could get away with. (All bankers seem to be addicted to this habit.) If any person has lost a red-liot stove pleas notify this paper. "Red" Clempson, the thinnest one of the thins, caused both his friends and opponents considerable anxiety in keeping tab on him. Red is so thin and active thai he appeared more like a shadow than substance, and on more than one occasion a roll call had to be in the game. "Doc" Morison, the anchor-man for the long, lean and lankys, did not find the going to his liking. = When there is nothing at stake, Doc can take the measure of anything that ever wore over-alls, but in the league games are necessary, Doc's luck evaporates. | He still maintains that if there was an | additional sixty feet run-way up to the foul line, that he would be able to find the grove without difficulty. Marshall Bailey played a portion of the first game with the fats, but quit on account of a headache, which he at- tributes to the handling of dynamite on his farin. Dynamite has a powerful odor as well as kick. We have also known fellows who would not do office work because they could not stand the smell of ink. "Tiny" Payne--another fat--was running true to form and was again high man. -it is rumored that Payne is starting s one-man league in the near future as he is becoming tired of still having to pay. Dunc Reid gave some of the ¢ 'spares" ATRIA i Ji i ll AE In the "THE PLACE WHERE ALL YOU DO NOT PLAY. taken to make certain that he was still! a + . b where friendship ceases and real scores: i making the high individual score and into the ditch, but on the final gam a closer shave than one gets in his Council Meets. The Town Council met in the council chambers on Tuesday evening. Mayor |, D. G. Dingwall and Councillors Bailey, Clempson, Klose, McKay, Wilde and Wood being present. Minutes of previous meeting and cor- respondence were read by J. E. Gib- son, Town Clerk, after which accounts to the amount of $3,466.94 were pass- ed. It was moved by Coun. Wood, sec- onded by Coun. Klose that the council grant the Red Cross hospital $167.81 for light, water and phone for the months of July, August and Septem- ber. Coun. McKay made the sugges- tion that the curfew should be rung at rine o'clock, this caused some discus: sion but the matter was left unsettled. A. J. Lock, tax collector, reported that his collections for this year show- ed an increase over the ameunt col- lected at the same date last year. Owing to the fact that the final meeting of this council is held on Dec. ib, on motion of Coun. Wilde and Tiose it was decided to hold the next regular meeting on Tuesday, Nov 30 instead of the first Tuesday in the next raonth as is the custom. This arrang- ment leaves more time between the ast two meetings. Ament fm St. Luke's W. A.

Again Trim Pitt's Staff-- The final game in the C.P.R. vs. Pitt Staff Contest was decided on Reid's Bowling Alleys Wednesday evening, when the railroaders won out by 160 'pins on the three games. The previous lwo games were four men teams but each side, to strengthen its potision, 'added an anpchor-man for the final game. The railroaders took on W. H. { Davies, who slings lightning for a liv- ing at the C.P. station, while the Pitt Staff added the head of their establish- ment in the person of the Square "P" himself. These additions to the usual performers added considerable interest 10 the contest but had no particular hearing on the final outcome. The Square "P" started out with a spare and a strike and was so elated at this unexpected showing that he bought cigars for the whole crowd. It is fortunate for the players that Mr Pitt bought when he did, as there surely was nothing in his efforts from that time on that would have warrant- od any generosity on his part. Davies improved as the game went on. At the start he appeared ove anxious with the result that his anc slipped badly, allowing his ball to d; is to get on «truck his stride and it was only {uv the best of luck that any of the succeeded in dodging him.

The Hall itself was tastefully decoatred and presented a splendid appearance, speak mg volumes for the care and attention given this matter by those in charge. Many of the costumes were really magnificieni--various nationalities be- ing protrayed in their most striking altire creating a most wonderful color effect. The Turkish and Egyptian ladies' costumes with their flimsy, shimmery and colorful qualities were rarticuularly charming, while from scenes Kgyptian and Turkish one could at a glance land amongst the beauties cl 'the Courts of Europe as portrayeu by the beautifu! and stately. Queen Elizabeth. From Queen Elizabeth to the Queen of Sheba is supposedly a long way, but the whole distance be- tween these Royal personages was worthily fillea by representatives of all intermediate countries, and in their best gala dress. The Lady of the Snows from the northern regions was most admirably represented by one of the Dryden ladies--the costume being particularly striking and effective and creating gen- eral admiration. The comic costumes, both gents and ladies, were exceptionally good and were a great source of amusement. Splendid prizes were offered for the various costumes and those winning these were fortunate indeed. Mesdames Berrey and Hutchison and Mr M. F. Cook were the judges and awarded the prizes as follows: Ladies' hived, Sybil Thorpe; Ladies' original homemade, Mrs Cooper; Ladies' Hal- lowe'en, Annie Anderson; Gentlemen's hired, Sid Bartlett; Gent's best original Sid Wright; Gent's comic, Ross Ham- ilton. .
